Here I go… referencing the Depp VS Heard trial and it’s not even in session this week. Can’t help myself because I’m just so amazed how “news organizations” pick sides on everything — not just politics.
Social media is full of trial clips and people voicing their opinions for both sides — more for Johnny Depp. Evidently, the news has to compete for those ad dollars, so juicier headlines are needed. No matter how far they’ll stoop for a scoop, there’s no way they can get saucier than TMZ who was happy to pay Heard for video of Depp slapping around cabinets, as well as a photo of her busted lip not allowed in trial.
Next you have the youtubers, tiktockers, twitter hashtags and facebook memes. The Internet is saturated with past and present video/audio clips and opinions — the Depp/Heard trial is a big draw right now so lots are doing it. Note this is the same process no matter what “big sensational happening” is going on in the world.
I tuned in to a stream yesterday and watched as names and contribution amounts donated during the show were read. The totals were astonishing — thousands of dollars.
I’ll admit, I love to consume the stuff the jury will never see or hear.
But when it comes to my NEWS — I just want accurate and unbiased reporting.
I’m not sure that exists anymore. 🙁
